Abstract Lung cancer is considered to be one of the deadly diseases that threaten the survival of human beings. It is a challenging task to identify lung cancer in its early stage from the medical images because of the ambiguity in the lung regions. This paper proposes a new architecture to detect lung cancer obtained from the CT images. The proposed architecture has a three-stream network to extract the manual and automated features from the images. Among these three streams, automated feature extraction as well as the classification is done using residual deep neural network and custom deep neural network. Whereas the manual features are the handcrafted features obtained using high and low-frequency sub-bands in the frequency domain that are classified using a Support Vector Machine Classifier. This makes the architecture robust enough to capture all the important features required to classify lung cancer from the input image. Hence, there is no chance of missing feature information. Finally, all the obtained prediction scores are combined by weighted based fusion. The experimental results show 98.2% classification accuracy which is relatively higher in comparison to other existing methods.

Abstract Background: Estimating the depth of anaesthesia (DoA) is critical in modern anaesthetic practice. Multiple DoA monitors based on electroencephalograms (EEGs) have been widely used for DoA monitoring; however, these monitors may be inaccurate under certain conditions. In this work, the hypothesis that heart rate variability (HRV)-derived features based on a deep neural network can distinguish different anaesthesia states was investigated.Methods: A novel method of distinguishing different anaesthesia states was developed based on four HRV-derived time and frequency domain features combined with a deep neural network. Four features were extracted from an electrocardiogram, including the HRV high-frequency power, low-frequency power, high-to-low-frequency power ratio, and sample entropy. Next, these features were used as inputs for the deep neural network, which used the expert assessment of consciousness level as the reference output. Finally, the deep neural network was compared with the logistic regression, support vector machine, and decision tree models. The datasets of 23 anaesthesia patients were used to assess the proposed method.Results: The accuracies of the four models, in distinguishing the anaesthesia states, were 86.2% (logistic regression), 87.5% (support vector machine), 87.2% (decision tree), and 90.1% (deep neural network). The accuracy of deep neural network was higher than those of the logistic regression (p < 0.05), support vector machine (p < 0.05), and decision tree (p < 0.05) approaches. Our method outperformed the logistic regression, support vector machine, and decision tree methods.Conclusions: The incorporation of four HRV-derived time and frequency domain features and a deep neural network could accurately distinguish between different anaesthesia states; however, this study is a pilot of a feasibility study, providing a method to supplement DoA monitoring based on EEG features to improve the accuracy of DoA estimation.


As of now the detection and classification of lung cancer disease is one of the most tedious tasks in the field of medical area. In the diversified sector of medical industry usage of technology plays a very important role. Detection and diagnosis of the lung cancer at an early stage with more accuracy is the most challenging task. So, in this research article 400 set of images has been used for this experiment. Best feature extraction technique and best feature optimization technique has been analyzed on the basis of parameter minimum execution time with minimum error rate. Then finest selection of features leads to an optimal classification. In this context, one of the best classification algorithm the support vector machine has been proposed in this hybrid model for the binary classification. Further Feed forward back propagation neural network has been implemented with SVM. This proposed hybrid model reduces the complexity of the system on the basis of minimum execution time that is 1.94 sec. with minimum error rate 29.25. Further better classification accuracy 99.6507% has been achieved by using this unique hybrid model

This paper reports an experimental comparison of artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) ensembles and their “nonensemble” variants for lung cancer prediction. These machine learning classifiers were trained to predict lung cancer using samples of patient nucleotides with mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor, Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene, and tumor suppressor p53 genomes collected as biomarkers from the IGDB.NSCLC corpus. The Voss DNA encoding was used to map the nucleotide sequences of mutated and normal genomes to obtain the equivalent numerical genomic sequences for training the selected classifiers. The histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) and local binary pattern (LBP) state-of-the-art feature extraction schemes were applied to extract representative genomic features from the encoded sequences of nucleotides. The ANN ensemble and HOG best fit the training dataset of this study with an accuracy of 95.90% and mean square error of 0.0159. The result of the ANN ensemble and HOG genomic features is promising for automated screening and early detection of lung cancer. This will hopefully assist pathologists in administering targeted molecular therapy and offering counsel to early stage lung cancer patients and persons in at risk populations.

Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Early detection of this disease increases the chances of survival. Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) has been used to process CT images of the lung to determine whether an image has traces of cancer. This paper presents an image classification method based on the hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm and Support Vector Machine (SVM). This algorithm is capable of automatically classifying and analyzing each lung image to check if there is any presence of cancer cells or not. CNN is easier to train and has fewer parameters compared to a fully connected network with the same number of hidden units. Moreover, SVM has been utilized to eliminate useless information that affects accuracy negatively. In recent years, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have achieved excellent performance in many computer visions tasks. In this study, the performance of this algorithm is evaluated, and the results indicated that our proposed CNN-SVM algorithm has been succeed in classifying lung images with 97.91% accuracy. This has shown the method's merit and its ability to classify lung cancer in CT images accurately.

The proposed method—with other evaluation methods, such as EEG—is expected to assist anaesthesiologists in the accurate evaluation of the DoA.

Generally, the process industry is affected by unwanted fluctuations in control loops arising due to external interference, components with inherent nonlinearities or aggressively tuned controllers. These oscillations lead to production of substandard products and thus affect the overall profitability of a plant. Hence, timely detection of oscillations is desired for ensuring safety and profitability of the plant. In order to achieve this, a control loop oscillation detection and quantification algorithm using Prony method of infinite impulse response (IIR) filter design and deep neural network (DNN) has been presented in this work. Denominator polynomial coefficients of the obtained IIR filter using Prony method were used as the feature vector for DNN. Further, DNN is used to confirm the existence of oscillations in the process control loop data. Furthermore, amplitude and frequency of oscillations are also estimated with the help of cross-correlation values, computed between the original signal and estimated error signal. Experimental results confirm that the presented algorithm is capable of detecting the presence of single or multiple oscillations in the control loop data. The proposed algorithm is also able to estimate the frequency and amplitude of detected oscillations with high accuracy. The Proposed method is also compared with support vector machine (SVM) and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) based approach and it is found that proposed method is faster and more accurate than the later.
